Hmm, just refreshed the "second chance" "buy now" page, and he's canceled the offer early.

lol, awesome! 馃嵖 I'm not saying but I'm just sayin' that it's kind of a dcik move to give a potential customer a mush face with the "don't buy!"

Especially since it turns out that the buyer and and seller are computer friends. hahahahaha

This kind of shit should get a member banned from selling here.

This is the same guy who basically spamed the FS forum with a big pile of listings the other day.

Shill bidding is against Ebay policy, and that's what he'd potentially be violating. Unfortunately, it's a slippery slope if we start policing members based on things we think they're doing wrong on Ebay.

I'm not sure how much you care about my opinion but I think your instincts are good here. This ain't kindergarten.

Just pulled up the bidding stats on that one. Seems fairly incriminating.

If you're in the US, not a good idea to buy Rolex from outside, even with no shill bidding. 馃榾

(Worked at a airport for several years) Some of the bigger companies like Rolex ( in the USA and Australia) pay a fee for customs to enforce their rules. Customs are only to happy for a bit of extra funding....

True More of a stopping counterfeit in Australia than stopping watches coming in.

I wonder if the thread title should be changed to "Report shill bidders on eBay here" and then split the "Don't import a Rolex into the USA" into another thread, where more people are likely to see it and get educated?
